From the east

Happy New Year!!!


I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season with family and friends. This time of the year can be quite hectic but with a new year comes new growth opportunities, not just in our personal lives but in the craft as well. As I’m writing this it’s becoming more evident how bittersweet this year has been. I went into the East intending to be a better WM for the Brethren of St Albans Lodge and as a placeholder until the newer generation makes their way through the chairs but now I realize how much of an impact the lodge had on me. The men of SAL6, particularly this year's line of officers, were so crucial to the growth of this lodge and it is noticeable throughout the entire state. You all worked so hard at rehearsals, in the lodge, and everything else we were involved in. I couldn’t be more proud and honored to have been able to serve SAL6 as Worshipful Master. This time around was so much more special to me and it’s because of all of you! I am a better father, Brother, and Man because of this lodge. Those gifts will be forever cherished. I thank you all!


Before I hand over the reins to the next incoming Master there is one final meeting to get through before I’m considered old news…


This month's stated communication will be on January 8th at 7 pm.


Dinner will be at 5:30 pm and we will be having baked Mac and Cheese and a side salad catered by Fam Lee Grille. Dinner will be $10 per plate. Please get your reservations to the secretary by Monday, January 6th.


The program for the evening will be a presentation by Brother Chris Ellis on the Order of the Eastern Star. I’ve been saying all year that I wanted to get families involved so this would be a perfect opportunity for those special ladies in our lives to get a taste of Freemasonry. I encourage all to attend!


Lastly, we will be having a rehearsal for the annual on January 8th as well. The DDGM and GMC will be here to go through the events for the following week. All current and future officers are REQUIRED to attend.


Again, my brothers, it’s been an absolute pleasure to have served all of you from the East and I look forward to the future of SAL6!


Yours in the Craft,


Manuel J. Benevides
